My deepest sympathy to the family. I have many fond memories of Edith-visiting at the house, her coming over to see us at Grandpa and Grandma Hedges' house, coming to visit with everyone when "the sisters" came home, etc. She was always quick with a smile and a hug. A wonderful woman who is already missed! Love you, "Aunt" Edith!
My sympathy to the family I have many happy memories of Edith

Such a precious, precious soul, our family loved her so much. We are so sorry for your loss.
I will miss the phone conversations Edith and I had almost every week. May God give Edith's family peace during this time of sorrow.
Sorry to the family for your loss. I remember working with her in the shirt factory. A very nice lady.
Praying for you all. She was a very precious sweetheart. I know she will be missed. May God bless you in this time. Lot's of good memories of visiting with her & John as a teenager with Mom & Dad. Love you all. Janice Melton
